Using immunochromatography on a polyclonal antibody, testicular anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) was purified from homogenates of human fetal testicular tissue and used as an antigen for hybridoma production. Two IgM clones were obtained. Both recognized AMH on biopsies of human testicular tissue and one blocked its anti-Müllerian activity. This monoclonal antibody (MAb) exhibited a relatively high affinity for AMH, and was studied further. It is interspecific, recognizing AMH in other mammalian species. The study of this MAb in relation to an IgM MAb raised against bovine AMH (bAMH) indicates that both MAbs recognize different but related epitopes on bAMH.

D008297 Male Males
D009095 Mullerian Ducts A pair of ducts near the WOLFFIAN DUCTS in a developing embryo. In the male embryo, they degenerate with the appearance of testicular ANTI-MULLERIAN HORMONE. In the absence of anti-mullerian hormone, mullerian ducts give rise to the female reproductive tract, including the OVIDUCTS; UTERUS; CERVIX; and VAGINA.
